National Science Day 2024

Every year on February 28th, we celebrate National Science Day in India. On this day in 1928, an Indian scientist found out a very interesting thing! Scientist CV Raman found out that when light passes through a clear thing, it changes a bit. He named this the “Raman Effect”. 

On this day, we honour the great achievement made by CV Raman. Also, this day celebrates how science has changed our lives for the better. 

CV Raman was born on November 7th, 1888, in Thiruchapalli, Tamil Nadu. In 1930, he became the first Indian to win a Nobel Prize in Physics! Sadly, on November 21st, 1970, he passed away at the age of 82. In 1986, February 28th was announced as National Science Day. 

The day is celebrated with fun and joy in India. Schools and colleges plan fun events, asking students to join in and have fun with science activities.
